 Spirals interwoven in ipadge trays among the Makhuwa of Northeastern Mozambique
The paper analyses the spiral structure encountered on twill-plaited ipadge baskets among the Makhuwa of Northeast Mozambique and announces a theorem that expresses the number of spirals and the direction into which they turn in terms of the position of the discontinuities in the weaving directions.
The pairs (8, -2) and (9, -3) describe the structure of the ipadge in Photographs 4 and 5 with three spirals, whereas the pairs (10, 2), (9, 3) and (8, 4) describe the structure of the ipadge in Photographs 6, 7 and 8 with five spirals.
Around the local spiral centres, the relationships between the displacements of the discontinuity lines (segments) and the number of concentric spirals are the same before.

The numbers indicate the sequence of triangles according to size, increasing by a factor of f = 1.085196156832515...
By examining the pattern of triangles again we can see that each segment of a spiral contains the vertices of one of the other spirals, in a three-way arrangement, and the vertex cuts the segment into two parts proportional to f^3 and sqrt(3) respectively.
Thus we need only interpolate between the vertices of one spiral, with an interpolation factor of sqrt(3)/(2f^5) = 0.57542589..., to find the vertices of another spiral.
